Publisher's Summary

A refreshingly simple guide to recover your life.

In Get Your Life Back, New York Times best-selling author John Eldredge provides a practical, simple, and refreshing guide to taking your life back.

By practicing a few wonder­fully simple practices - or what John calls “graces” - you can begin to recover your soul, disentangle from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.

Ask yourself: 

  • Are you happy most of the time?
  • Do you feel deeply loved?                                            
  • Are you excited about your future? 
  • How often do you feel lighthearted?

After listening to this book you will:

  • Learn how to insert the One Minute Pause into your day
  • Begin practicing “benevolent detachment” and truly let it all go
  • Offer kindness toward yourself in the choices you make
  • Drink in the simple beauty available to you every day
  • Take realistic steps to unplug from technology overload

These simple practices and others are ready for the taking. You don’t need to abandon your life to get it back. Begin restoring your life here and now. Your soul will thank you for it.

Includes audiobook-exclusive commentary from John Eldredge after select chapters.

A must read!

I've listened to this twice now. John's counsel, advice and powerful stories of his own life are absolutely fantastic.

The practices that he recommends are good and helpful. Highly recommend this book!

So timely for this hour

Absolutely loved this book and John narrating it. John is so easy to listen to and brings home a lot of facts and simple truths that one can grasp. The practical application is so achievable for anyone - like the one minute pause - as it makes cultivating intimacy with God possible for the busiest person! My favorite part... benevolent detachment... therein is so much freedom!
Thanks John, great work and partnership with God on this one!

great tool for a spiritual re-set

Already planning to listen again with a notebook & pen. Often lyrical and always insightful about the assault of contemporary life on the soul. A great resource for those genuinely seeking union with Christ.
